My Top 5 Lessons from 2025 ๐ค
2025 was a year of abundance unlike anything Iโve known before โ not because it was easy, but because it was rich in growth, truth, learning and loving.
I left a long-term, highly stressful corporate job โ but only after returning from maternity leave when my baby, born prematurely, was still very small. I wasnโt ready. My nervous system and my heart wasnโt ready.
At the same time, I worked relentlessly to complete my Baccalaureus Sexologiae in record time, start my Masters, and began building the sexology leg of my practice from the ground up, while my trauma-focused work was already in progress.
It was a year of holding many truths at once. Tiny humans were gained and giants were lost too.
Hereโs what it taught me:
1. Belief is not fluff โ itโs fuel.
Positive affirmation and deep belief in purpose and calling were fundamental. Your thoughts create your reality โ so use them wisely.
2. Rest is not optional โ even when the pressure is relentless.
When life demands optimal performance in multiple roles at once, rest is not indulgent โ it is essential. And the rest that sustains must be health-centred and nervous-system aware.
3. A village is crucial when you are holding many dreams at once.
Motherhood, study, career change, purpose โ none of these are meant to be carried alone. Support is the infrastructure that makes growth possible.
4. Keep learning and stay agile.
Growth is rarely graceful while itโs happening. The more I learn, the more I realise how much I still need to learn. No rain, no flowers.
5. Take the photo.
Losing my gran to dementia โ a woman who loved photographs โ reminded me of their importance. What we capture with intention becomes our legacy when all else fades. Take the photo โ especially of the ordinary.
May 2026 be filled with embodiment.
With being grounded. With conscious presence. With treating yourself kindly. With allowing two things to be true at once โ and being able to name them honestly.
May it be filled with great memories, big laughs, and true prosperity.
Thank you for your support in 2025. ๐ค
